Welcome to the presentation on Data
Protection in the European Union.My name is Atina Krajewska,
and I'm a senior lecturerat the Cardiff School of Law and
Politics at the Cardiff University.And I will try to summarize
the area of data protectionin the European Union.Although this is a very
complex area and becauseof the time constraints,
I will necessarily have to focuson certain most important aspects of
the regulation of this area of law.

Let me tell you briefly
what I'm going to talk aboutduring this presentation.First of all, I will
try to introducethe basic principles of data
protection in the European Union.And then I will move on to discuss
shortly the current regulationof data protection, which is covered
at the moment by an EU directive.However, most of my
presentation will be concernedwith the new coming
general regulationon data protection, which is
still in the legislative process.But we are expecting to have an
adopted regulation by the endof this year, so I think
this is really importantto focus on the new coming law.And finally, I will focus on
the highlights and challengesof that coming piece of
legislation at the European Unionand hopefully come
to some conclusions,although this might be
difficult at this stage.
